The TMC wrested the seat, which was won by the BJP in 2021 for which Kalyani was then a saffron candidate and then switched over to the ruling party.

TMC candidate Madhuparna Thakur from Bagdah seat ( North 24 Parganas) won over her nearest rival Binoy Kumar Biswas, who conceded defeat at end of 10th round and left the counting centre. Thakur won by over 30,000 votes. The TMC wrested the seat from the BJP.
